i have a us number at&t cell here in south baja full time for 3 years....it sucks.
i belive they use tel cell towers, but somehow manages to suck.
if i was a more active cell user i would get the tell-cell amigo plan. hard to beat.


x2

We live one mile (direct line-of sight) from a 300 ft tall Telcel tower.

Our AT&T US phone/number constantly switches between Telcel and AT&T Mex as the service provider. When connected to Telcel, the service works flawlessly. When connected to AT&T Mex calls are dropped constantly.

They are supposed to be one and the same but there is something different about them. Five bars on Telcel. Two to three bars on AT&T Mex. There is only one tower in town so the signal is coming from the same tower. Go figure.


the at&t service is so bad, i usually use hangouts or whats app to place a call to the states. at least the data is remarkably slooow. it works ok for receiving calls from the usa. texting works well.
